Maton Maton SRS808C Blackwood Cutaway Acoustic-Electric
Presenting the Maton SRS808C. The Maton SRS808C incorporates solid Blackwood back and sides, a Spruce top, and a soft cutaway. The SRS808C is an absolutely beautiful little guitar and combines the warm, full tones of Blackwood with the top end clarity of Spruce. A forward shifting of the X braces and the shifting of scallop peaks to nodal points around the soundboard help to enhance the vibration of the top. The shifting of the X braces also allowed the inclusion of a second, parallel tone bar which allows the scalloping of both tone bars, and spreads the load while reducing mass. Adjusted bracing heights as well as a locked 15 foot radius for the arch of the back, gave the luthiers at Maton the plate resonance separation they were looking for between top and back. They now have the full, open, lower frequency response they were looking for as well as a crisp, well defined treble response. The new 808 series sounds a whole lot bigger than a small bodied guitar should. The team at Maton were hoping the end of this journey would produce a guitar that amazes the player at first strum, then continues to impress as each aspect of the sound of the guitar meets and surpasses the player’s expectation. Stock photos shown, updated photos will be posted upon the arrival of the next guitar.
